WWE/PEACOCK: Peacock confirms NXT library rights expiration, Raw episodes to be removed next


Posted on 10/04/124 by Colin Vassallo



After Peacock removed all episodes of the NXT library from
its service, Wrestling-Online.com reached out to
NBCUniversal for clarification.

A Peacock spokesperson confirmed that Peacock no longer has
the library rights of NXT episodes from October 1 onward due
to the move of the show to the CW. NXT premium live events
will continue to air on Peacock and available on-demand but
weekly episodes, including those of the past, are not
available anymore.

A CW spokesman also confirmed a few weeks ago that CW will
not have the full NXT library and the network will only have
episodes of the show which aired on CW on their app.

In addition, all WWE Raw episodes on Peacock will also be
removed from the service in January 2025. This is because
Raw is moving to Netflix and an expiry clock on these
episodes will be shown starting December 2. It’s unclear if
all previous episodes of Raw will also port to Netflix in
the United States.

Smackdown episodes, including new and the full library of
the show, will remain on Peacock due to the company’s
agreement with NBCUniversal for the next five years.

Also, all premium live events, including NXT ones, will
remain exclusive to Peacock in the United States.
